Freeze-Dried Wedding Bouquets

Freeze-drying is
a process for
flower preservation
that retains the
color and texture
of products.
Unlike air drying,
the product's shape
is maintained by
virtue of it being
frozen.
While frozen, the moisture
is removed by way of vacuum,
leaving all other substances
in the flower, such as pigment
and structural parts immobilized.

The result is a beautiful, natural
looking product that lasts many years
with proper care. To preserve the
luster and life of the product,
pre- and post-treatments are applied.
The process requires a machine containing
two refrigeration units and a vacuum system.

As soon as we receive your flowers, we apply
a pre-treatment and use infra-red heat to
evaporate excess moisture. Next, the flowers
need to be frozen within fifteen minutes to
prevent the petals from turning brown.
After twelve hours the drying process starts,
which takes up to fourteen days of carefully
regulating the freeze-dry machine. When the
product is dried, the post-treatment must be
applied within twelve hours. If necessary, we
enhance the colors of the flowers, and your
Wedding bouquet is ready for framing.

Nature’s Beauty will preserve your freeze dried
flowers by mounting them in a wide variety of
attractive choices, including shadow boxes,
glass cases, or frames with an acrylic dome.

As one of life’s most joyous events, a wedding
comes with heart-warming memories.
To preserve those memories, Nature’s Beauty will
create a lasting tribute including photos,
invitations and other heirloom objects to compliment
your wedding flower bouquet.
What better way to remember your wedding for
many years to come!
